Love Like This
A lover of the vapid is my friend
So rapidly to boredom we can wend.
Yet should love like this be brought to sudden end
Or clung to as we struggle through the bends?
Is the choosing of insipid acts
Genetic, to be treated with mere tact?
Or if it’s learned, then how should I react
To give him aid to learn that which he lacks?
And who am I to judge that he should change?
For vapidity’s subjective in its range.
And criticism if ept may then derange,
To lunacy his mind be rearranged.
Personal judgements should not issue fast,
As the pains we cause may for an era last
